Penance? 3 ticks or two? and...2 specs in wotlk?

I remember hearing that Penance will "now me a 2 sec channel with 3 ticks...(the first being instant)...But when I read the discription I get the idea there are only two ticks...did it get changed, again?

And I also thought I read that you will be able too switch between two diffrent specs (not change points,but have 2 preset talent trees that you can switch from for free) can anyone confirm this, because most of the people I talk to Don't remember ever hearing about this update?
